I have a white macbook and decided to have xp on it via bootcamp. I like to play the occasional non graphics intensive game and put real temp on it so I could monitor how hot it was. Now the main problem was that, before I was using core temp and because the tj max was different, core temps using real temp are 15 degrees lower, ie. core temp says 55, real temp says 40degrees Celsius.
Normally this wouldn't be an issue seeing as having my macbook actually run cooler is always good but when I use istat pro on my mac, temperatures are completely different. The same can be said for almost all temperature monitors for Osx. For example core temps under a load would be 50degrees Celsius using real temp on xp where as in Osx I get 60+.
So my main concern is which is right? Or could it be that real temp and other temperature monitoring software are not accurate on a bootcamp machine.
Also if it would help my macbook is the white one, with an intel core 2 duo p7350.
Lastly I apologize if this is in the wrong section.
